Web Hosting Reviews - Can You Trust Them?

Imagine doing a search on Google for “web hosting company“, and coming up with around 1,700,000 hits! What you want and need is not a cheap web hosting plan, but a good web hosting plan that fits your budget. Having realized this, you start looking around for advice on good web hosting. Now, chances are you will then stumble upon some web hosting review site, which is happy to tell you that xyz.com is the very best web hosting provider in the world! The truth is, that many web hosting companies pay very generous commissions to those who refer new customers to them. It then becomes very tempting to set up a “web hosting review” website which is actually nothing but a billboard for the best-paying web hosting services providers, with no regard for their actual merits. Often, they strongly recommend web hosting companies that are actually known to have a very poor customer reputation.

A few of those web hosting review sites does actually collect and post such customer opinions; and you can also find authentic posts by searching on large web hosting forums such as WebHostingTalk.

Needless to say, you should NOT bother with the “customer opinions” posted by the web hosting companies themselves on their own sites. - by Kai Virihaur

Site5 Web Hosting Review
I have been hosting some of my websites with Site5 for about a year now. I also have other websites hosted in other web hosting companies. Next I want to share about Web Hosting Review…

Why I choose Site5At that time, I was searching for a reliable and reputable cheap web hosting company for a couple of my new websites.

Site5 Hosting Plan

Site5 only offer two types of hosting plan : shared and reseller. Basically here’s the brief web hosting package details :

Diskspace : 8GB
Bandwidth : 500GB
Multisite Accounts : 5
Unlimited : domain pointers, ftp, mysql

Please note this hosting plan is no longer available and is replaced with multisite dynamite plan. Unique Features of Site5 hosting

One feature I like about site5 hosting is the multisite accounts. Unlike other shared web hosting companies which uses domain pointers, a multisite accounts exists on its own with its own subdomains, domain pointer, ftp, mysql etc. You can set the diskspace and bandwidth from the main pool of your web hosting account.

I recently upgraded my hosting plan to multisite dynamite and was told I had to shift to another server. - by Ricky Lim
